***2010 Mississippi Traditional Deer Hunt Thread***

[South MS Bowhunter]

I seen the the Missouri and Ohio threads and wondered if there was a thread for the Mississippi guys so I did a search and nothing came up.  So i'll be the first to start one, if there is one please feel free to direct me to it.

Shot a doe on October 18, 2010 Southern Zone II.   Evening hunt approximately 6:20 pm had 4 doe come out working through a pinch point in a swamp drainage.  Made a good shot at 13 yards and short tracking job, she ran 49 paces after the hit.  Was shooting a Centaur Chimera 50#@28 I draw 30", the arrow was a GT 7595 tipped with a Woodman Elite 175 non vented total wt 520 grains.
